Hello, I'm new to target and I just had my first full day of work on Friday 9/25. I first did some online quizzes for a few hours that had nothing to do with my position as a cashier. Then I was sent to watch a cashier for 10 minutes and then I was put to work on my own cash register. I received basically no training and had to ask a team member for help every 5 minutes, is this normal?
On my "training" paper schedule, I was scheduled to work again next Saturday 8/2 (over an entire week later). But I was called the following day on 9/26 and asked why I wasn't at work. Turns out they entered my schedule incorrectly but I agreed to come in for a full day's work anyway.
Well today, Sunday 9/27, they call me at 9 am asking if I can work today but I told them could not as I had plans and apologized. I'm also a full time student at college and really needed today for completing homework and such. I'm just wondering if it was bad for me to say I couldn't come into work today? Could they fire me for this because I'm on the 90 day probation period? Am I going to have to expect them to call me into work everyday? I would like to have at least a little free time..
I was hired as a part-time cashier. Any tips for a target newbie are appreciated! Thanks!
